Thoughts of decades we carried 
Rich history to be unfolded
Beautiful sights of trees and mountains we view
Hail God’s creation
For his handiwork is perfect
Stories of the Liberian camp at...

Colures transposed orbits closed whence derive the rains of rose?
Across million mileage magic and magnitude are striding
O'er holistic horizon svelteness and smoothness are sliding
Meridian framed parallax tamed whither swash the rains of rose?

Life exudes in it's harshest of complexities:
I have built this machine with bleeding hands,

 The blue print of a rhapsodic love furls 
Among the two betrothed by a mutual affection.

Counting not thy own alone 
The weight of loss or gain's bail

In my world
I am the lord
My God made me
I am stronger than rod

Endowed with powers
A man for accomplishment
The pacesetter
The first runner up
Building up to stand up
Moving with courage
Driving with perseverance
Behind motivation
I don't don't need people...

I command you, my stranger
Go far, far beyond the land of Keta
Cross the lagoon, Nonobe, Awalifi and Ledzor 
Beyond, there is an abode
A giant piece stuck among the...

Awaken Giant of Africa!
Awaken oh Nigerians!
To a battery of fresh ideas
A synagogue of truce
An altar of oneness
To thee, I call, ‘awaken’.

Be not asleep 
To the insomnia of your rivals
Gather up materials
And let your minds think

Oh My, The Sun Is Falling - Nursery Rhyme

Chicken lil' one,
"Sky's falling, run",
now he knows why it's getting hotter,

but sun, here's why,

An apple fell,
and nut did tell,
to...
